Especially in the case of dryer cylinders, non-stick surface features combined with good doctorability provide uniquely desirable features for cylinders, allowing users to enjoy clean surfaces and problem-free operation. Cylinder coatings can be manufactured during shutdowns inside paper machines. With Valmet roll covers, dryers can be operated safely, efficiently and with high reliability.

The solution to problems like these is Valmet's Dryer Roll Cover DOH release coating for doctored drying and cooling cylinders.

The highlight of this new coating is its release layer, made of a unique fluoropolymer exclusive to Valmet. It has been optimized for excellent release and doctoring properties, as well as stable operation due to its good resistance to wear and flaking.
